FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Remaining Inventory Calculation: In the "Remaining Inventory" column: =IF(ISBLANK(E3), 0, B3 - E3), where B3 is initial stock and E3 is quantity used.
• Status Indicator: Uses a nested IF formula to determine inventory status:

  =IF(LEFT(D4,1)*1 < 25%, "Low", IF(LEFT(D4,1)*1 < 75%, "Medium", "High"))

• Daily Habit Completion Rate: On the Dashboard: =COUNTIF(F:F,"Yes")/COUNTA(A:A), where column F contains habit completion status.
• Streak Counter: Uses a dynamic formula to calculate consecutive days completed:

  =IF(AND(F2="Yes", F1="Yes"), G1+1, IF(F2="Yes", 1, 0))

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

• Habit Completion: Highlight "Yes" entries in green (e.g., #d4edda), and "No" in red (#f8d7da).
• Inventory Status: Apply color scales: Red for Low (<25%), Yellow for Medium (25%-75%), Green for High (>75%).
• Streaks: Highlight streak cells in gold (#ffd700) if ≥ 3 consecutive days.
• Dates: Use color-coding to highlight weekends (e.g., gray background) for behavioral insight.
